Looks almost like a Halloween PEZ!
Though in answer to the question of Vader's part human/part machine status, the Force lightning from the Emperor caused Vader's skull to glow blue-white through his helmet, the effect the figure is seeking to reproduce. As we saw when Vader's helmet was removed, his head is, more or less, intact. Obviously at least one of his arms is a machine, however.
An additional thought on that picture:
How many licks does it take to get to the glowing skull center of a Vader Pop? The world may never know...

I knew it! Master Jedi is really Mr. Owl! Looks like you fell for my cunning plan. (Incidentally, Sith Worm is really Alexander the Great, I know because I tricked him into taking a AlexandertheGreatAlizer test that he thought was an AtillatheHunAlizer test!)

I remember George Lucas saying somewhere that Vader's arms and legs are bionic (hence his towering size and immense physical strength). His torso and head, I guess, are pretty much original equipment. There is an animation cel drawing on the Behind the Magic CD-ROM of Vader's skull (used to create the X-ray effect as Vader is being shocked) which indicates that even his skull and neck vertebrae have some mechanical elements.

In the animated skeletal structure sequence of ROTJ, you can see SOME natural upper arms, I believe, but it's clear his lower arms definitely are cybernetic. I think one arm is more robotic than the other too.

Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.

Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.

The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
